Resume for the Silver Millennium
Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon or Dragonball... or any of it's affiliates. Sorry, I'm not too great
with battle scenes but I felt this would be the best way to get the story going the way I wanted it to :)
I sat myself down and said 'you're writing a chapter before you do anything else' so here it is...

Serenity awoke to the sun streaming in her window. Her clothing had been draped over a delicate scarlet chaise lounge. It was a perfect day for a battle... except she couldn't seem get rid of the burning sensation in her throat... or the queasiness in her stomach.

*Not today* she thought to herself. *Not in the middle of this*

"Prince Vegeta.... yes, you are scheduled to fight first today... but it seems your partner is not able to attend."

"I'll fight them alone."

"I cannot authorize-"

"I will fight them alone." he repeated in a deathly calm voice.

The woman at the station narrowed her eyes and adjusted her glasses. "Alright. You may fight alone. I'll leave it to you to tell your partner."

He nodded and walked away. The onna wouldn't need to know.

"Poor baby." Queen Serenity soothed, rubbing her daughter's back. "Just go back to bed. I have already informed them of your absence. Feel better." She left, closing the door as lightly as she could. Princess Serenity moved back to the bed and lay down.

"Ouch." Jadeite mumbled as he moved off of... the floor. He had slept on the floor. That was why his back hurt so bad.. but it didn't explain-

"Morning. Hope you're awake and-"

"Well aren't we just a big heaping pile of hot-"

"You'll be fighting today to determine the top two."

"What?!" his head shot up.

Nephrite grinned. "You should get ready." he said in a somewhat know-it-all voice. Jadeite grumbled before taking some aspirin and going back to his room to get changed.

Setsuna opened the door to Hotaru's room... to find her already dressed.

"Is it time to go?" She asked, her voice betraying her, allowing Setsuna to see how anxious she really was.

"Not yet." She said. When she saw Hotaru's disappointed expression, she decided to elaborate. "But soon."

Hotaru gave a squeal of approval and went out in the main room to wait.

"Rei-chan." A soft voice said next to her. She turned over to see Ami standing next to her bed. She was smiling and holding a sheet of paper. "According to my sources it is almost time for-"

Rei groaned and rolled over. For some reason she had a terrible... Jadeite. Stupid Jadeite. All the wine he gave her made her crave coffee. All that caffeine.... From there, she was up all night running through new attack phrases and seeing how much damage she could do. As a matter of fact, a piece of the wall had been blown out and through the singed area, you could see the nearby lake.

"Rei-chan you have to get up. The battle will begin-"

Rei's jumped up and flung open the doors to the giant armoire in her room. Almost immediately, clothes were being thrown out and onto a heap in the floor beside Ami. Within seconds, Rei had stopped and looked over to Ami.

"Oh Goddess... I'm turning into the Odango Atama..."

Ami giggled and left the room.

"The first battle is about to begin." a voice boomed through the hallways. Usagi awoke with a start just in time to hear the rest of the announcement. "Princess Serenity of the Moon will not be attending today. Her partner, Prince Vegeta has agreed to fight alone."

Her eyes widened in surprise. *Why would he go and do that?* She shrugged, feeling too horrible to even try and get up.

"Surprise!" The door flew open and slammed against the wall. Serenity threw her covers over her head. Last time Minako had tried to help Rei... let's just say Rei did everything in her power not to get sick again.

She could hear Minako stepping into the room and metal and glass clattering in a mess to the floor. Usa-chan! Get up get up! Mako-chan gave me this new recipe for soup and soup is good for you when you're sick!" She pulled down the blanket somewhat to find Minako smiling and brandishing what looked like a combination of... cough medicine... and cough drops. She held out a teaspoon mock mother-style. "Here comes the choo-choo."

Queen Serenity watched as the fighters took their marks. Jadeite and Rei vs. Vegeta. Not exactly a fair match... to Rei and Jadeite. They hadn't had the kind of "training" Vegeta had. That's all the King would tell her about the training. That it was like nothing any of the other planets had ever experienced. She abandoned the thought as a high pitched whistle broke the silence.

A whistle was blown and the fight began. Vegeta watched as first the man walked out into the ring. He was... of course... going to give them the advantage of fighting together, but they had declined. *How stupid* he thought. *I've beaten their Prince.. the best fighter in their land and one of the weaker ones come to challenge me* He gave a look over at Rei who seemed to be seething... that or she was in pain. *she may pose a bit of a threat. she has much hidden power*

The sword slashed down beside him. He side-stepped again, ducking as it flew overhead with a loud swish. Once more it came down towards him. He growled and grabbed it, yanking it out of his hands and bending the metal at the same time.

Jadeite took a step back. Of course he knew there was no way he was going to beat this prince, but he wasn't going to go down without a-

Serenity was still trying to get the taste of the medicine out of her mouth. Minako had gone into the kitchen to get some soup. That wasn't the bad part. The clattering she heard in the nearby area was.

She rolled over in the bed and sighed. Her eyes were almost closed when... A HA! She picked up the small communication device and hit the little green button. "Please have yours Mako-chan please please- MAKO-CHAN! Get over here and bring Kunzite! Minako-chan is playing doctor!"

Makoto let a soft chuckle escape, but immediately turned it into a cough at Serenity's sour expression. She nodded. "'kay, girl. I'll be over in a second. Hope you can hang on until-"

The screen shut off as she heard Minako come humming down the hall.

Jadeite's train of thought was cut off as Vegeta did a round-house kick, effectively knocking him out of the ring.

Rei groaned. Her head was killing her. Now WHY hadn't she taken Ami-chan's advice and just taken the damn aspirin? She looked back to the ring just in time to see her partner be taken out by an easy kick. She shook her head and stood. Of all the attacks, she still hadn't figured what she wanted to use. Then it hit her. She smiled wickedly and walked into the ring, her head held high.

The whistle was blown once more

Hotaru was bouncing in her seat, watching the fight. "Is it almost time?"

"Yes, Hotaru. It's almost time."

She smiled and looked down into the field. By the area where Vegeta had entered, her partner and the Saiyan King stood. She smiled thinking about her partner. He was so cute and... She smiled once more and turned to the woman beside her.

"How many more minutes?"

It was Setsuna's turn to smile.

"Athene Crimson Warrior, Spark!" she shouted, allowing the red glow to engulf her. Vegeta smirked. Maybe it wouldn't be so hard after all. He sent a small blast forward, testing her. Not surprisingly it was absorbed into the red around her.

*Ha* she thought. *Offense spells never would have helped me with him. I need defense.... now if I can just keep this up for long enough...* She let a Fire Soul go towards him. The smirk never faded from his face as he powered up slightly. The aura around him got rid of it easily. *Uh oh*

"Serenity... you need to have some souuuup. It's good for you!"

Serenity kept her lips locked and shook her head to the negative. *Where is Mako-chan anyways?*

"Usagi-chan?"

"In here!" she near-shouted, allowing Minako time to shove the spoon in her mouth. The soup wasn't actually that- she had talked too soon. The horrible after-taste sent shivers down her spine.

"Hey Minako-chan. Want to go watch the rest of the fight with us?" Makoto asked her.

"I don't know. Usagi-chan really needs my help and all."

"You can go Minako-chan! It's okay! I'll just sleep!"

"Well..."

Makoto elbowed Kunzite and he stepped further into the room.

"I'd love to." she said as she latched herself onto Kunzite's arm. They all turned to leave and Serenity gave a sigh of relief. *I wonder how Vegeta's doing*

"How much longer?" Hotaru asked once more.

Setsuna sighed.

Rei moved to the side and prepared another attack, this time a Burning Mandala. She threw it at him, but as she did so, he took the liberty of appearing behind her and using a small blast to throw her forward, effectively stopping her defense attack while she was down. She moved to get up as soon as she could, but he stepped on her hand. She narrowed her eyes at him as his name was announced as the winner.

"Pathetic" he muttered as he made his way out of the ring. *The onna should know about this* He turned and went the opposite way of his room and headed towards hers. In the meanwhile, the next fight was being announced.

"The last battle of the day will occur in twenty minutes." it boomed and shut off.

Ami giggled as Zoicite made another face, mimicking Kunzite on one of his bad days. "And you must do this and this and I don't want anything done- Hey guys. Back so soon?" Kunzite had appeared, a blonde girl still hanging on his arm... and talking a mile a minute.

"So you're from the earth. How did you get to be one of Endymion's generals? I heard you're his first in command that must be a real honor. Well. Technically, I'm Serenity's first in command and-"

The conversations mostly picked up where they had been before.

"I'm going to battle. I'm going to battle." Hotaru sang as she skipped. They had always told her how powerful she was, but she never got to test it like this. The only bad thing was that she was going to have to fight with Uranus and Neptune. They had taken her in when the King of Saturn had died and she was not old enough to claim the throne. She bit her lip, beginning to feel a little bit less excited about fighting now.

Setsuna noticed and attempted to reassure her. "Just do your best Firefly. We'll be proud of you no matter how you place." Hotaru smiled.

Rei and Jadeite walked down the hallway towards the seats in silence until-

"Does your head hurt as much as mine?"

Jadeite looked over and nodded, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"Good." she said and began to walk a little quicker. He sighed.

"I'm sorry about the alcohol it will never happen again. I promise." He gave her what looked like a boy scout sign. She shook her head and started walking again, now smiling.

Michiru and Haruka walked out into the ring. They had already agreed that Michiru would take care of Hotaru. Haruka especially wanted to test the Saiyan.

He was already standing there, a smirk on his face. Haruka followed his line of vision to see none other than Hotaru standing with Setsuna. Michiru saw the fist Haruka was balling in her hand and took it into her own. A reassuring smile later, they were ready for battle.

Serenity heard the door creak open and then shut. "Oh no... Minako I said you could-" she stopped abruptly as Vegeta entered the room. "I'm sorry, I thought you were-"

"I just came to tell you that we will be moving on to the top two tomorrow."

"That's great!" Serenity squealed, sitting up. Upon realizing that the blanket was no longer covering the tiny night-gown, she flushed a scarlet shade. Vegeta smirked and turned to leave. "No wait!"

He turned and with a hint of annoyance, asked only, "what?"

Serenity beamed at him. "Tell me about what happened." *I need to have SOMETHING to throw at Rei-chan in the morning. Then she can't call me Odango Atama anymore... okay she'll still call me Odango Atama but-* She was brought out of her thoughts by Vegeta's harsh voice.

"What do you want to know?"

"Just tell me about it. How'd you beat them? What did Rei-chan use? Was she any good? Did her partner help at all? How was it overall?"

The questions never seemed to end. He started explaining the battle in a somewhat exasperated tone and Serenity settled in, ready to take in every word.

As the whistle was blown, Haruka growled and leapt at Kakarot, throwing punches and kicks at him. Michiru noted seriously she was taking this fight. As she turned, she also found Hotaru grinning at her. "Neptune deep submerge!" she let the small turquoise planet sped towards Hotaru, who quickly threw out her own attack.

"Silence wall!" The purple barrier appeared just in time. After the turqoise ball had dissipated, she threw out her newest attack. "Cronos Night by Day, Charm!"

Tiny moons, suns and stars appeared, flying seemingly from everywhere towards Michiru who dodged as many as she could. When she finally had enough time, she crouched and sent out her own. "Poseidon Majestic Trident, Summon!"

For some odd reason he didn't mind answering her questions anymore. It was kinda like she was growing on him. *Like a weed* he thought. He turned to look at her, taking in her silvery hair and petite frame.. her stunning blue eyes and pink lips.. the blush that covered her cheeks. He was now aware that he had been staring. He smirked. *A good weed*

A large fork-like staff appeared and sent out pieces of sea water to counter Hotaru's. As they hit the suns, they exploded, causing major harm to themselves, mostly Michiru, and even catching Haruka off-guard once.

Michiru moved to avoid one explosion but was hit by another major one, knocking her sideways and onto her arm. Hotaru ran to her to find her arm was twisted in a way it shouldn't have been.

"I'm so sorry. I'll go get someone." She stood and ran to the side of the ring, ushering in some of the medics to help her get to the rejuvenation tanks.

Haruka had been doing incredibly well with the saiyan up to this point, throwing little attacks and countering his... though she knew he was playing with her. She could sense his power. One of the "advantages" of being related to the first titan.

"Uranus Sky King Mirage!" she shouted, allowing the shades of yellow and orange to overtake him. She smirked. There was no way he was going to be able to battle now. He was as good as blind.. or at least she thought.

Kakarot blinked several times, trying to clear the picture of a sandy desert from his view. He smirked and closed his eyes. Lesson number three hundred twenty two. Sensing power levels. Just recently they had learned of how to do so. It wasn't widely accepted. Most still used scouters, but it would work in this case.

He ran forward, towards where he felt the female's power level and sent a kick forward. He wasn't surprised to hear her grunt in response and stumble backward. A punch to her stomach and another kick sent her onto the ground. The images were becoming hazy. Proof that she was weakening, but she was still putting up a good fight... for a human...

He felt her deliver a blow to his chest. *Good. The female knows how to fight. But I'm boring of this.* He grabbed her hand and flipped her over him and back onto the ground where he stepped on her stomach, holding her there. As the announcer told the winner, the vision finally faded. He looked down at the female and pulled her to her feet.

"Congratulations" she spat. He merely walked away.

"Tomorrow will be the final fight. Prepare well." the announcement blew through every hallway and into Serenity's room. Vegeta's eyes widened at the time. He stood and walked to the door. For hours they had just been sitting. Listening. Sitting some more.... and then Serenity had fallen asleep. He was going to leave right then... but something compelled him not to. Whatever it was made him stay there for nearly four hours.

"Iwanu ga hana" he said softly before closing the door and making his way down the hallway.

"I'm sorry about last time. Maybe I could take you out for something with... not so much alcohol in it next time?" Jadeite asked, smiling hopefully.

Rei smiled also and nodded. "Maybe it's just the pounding in my head but that sounds nice." She walked into her room and shut the door, only to hear Ami step in moments later.

"I haven't had that much fun in ages."

"Yeah, me neither."

Kunzite had "decided" to escort Minako to her room ("All on his own too!"). "That was so much fun. Hey, do you want to get together tomorrow after the last fight? It's kind of a tradition that my friends and I have a little party."

"I'd like that." he smiled.

She closed the door and waited for his footsteps to get far enough away before, "Yes! Kunzite is sooo hot!" Now fully composed, she made her way into the bathroom to get ready for bed.

Makoto appeared minutes later. She quickly made her way into the room adjoining Minako's... hoping not to run into-

"So! Where'd you and Nephrite sneak off to today, huh?" She sighed. It would be a long night.

"I don't like the way that saiyan was looking at Hotaru." Haruka growled as they walked in the door.

"And why not may I ask?" Michiru looked at her, waiting for an answer.

"He's not good enough for her." she said simply before walking out of the room and towards the bedroom.

Michiru smiled and made her way in as well.

The lights turned out all over the palace grounds. One more battle and all would be decided... at least in Queen Serenity's eyes...
